Curated by Marie Glassl
Opening, 1 December 2023, 7pm
Espace DIAPHANES Berlin
Dresdener Straße 118, 10999 Berlin
2 December 2023 – 21 January 2024
The exhibition features artworks from several series and periods of Howes' works, bringing together different aspects of the artists ongoing interest in the bodys connection to language and the translation between different media; between poetics and poiesis.
Examining the materiality of language and the way in which different parts of the body perform speech, the exhibition follows an Ariadne’s thread from Howes' early to her most recent work. We catch a glimpse into her multifaced reconfigurations of body and space in which words and gestures, movement and drawing, sculpture and language are ceaselessly translated and transformed into one another.
